I made this playlist for my brother Tom, who tends to like grit, automotive metaphors and loud guitars in his music. (Who doesn’t?) So, there’s a certain rough twang here that Leonard Smalls (above) illustrates well.
Sorry for the lack of new songs. Most of the mix is either recently old, middle old or old old. Thanks to Into the Mild for “The Lady with the Braid,” Aquarium Drunkard for “Don’t Let Me Down” and “Tailpipe,” and Rollo & Grady for “Pobre Mary.” Oh, and of course, thanks to Tom for the inspirado.
